CT River - Wethersfield Cove 6/4
Message:
RobO and I decided to do some 3 a.m. striper/catfish/carp fishing from shore at the Bissell Bridge, but we determined quickly that the fast current and debris was going to be a big problem. So, we packed up & headed for the Wethersfield Cove instead. We set up shop along the channel that connects the cove to the river...it's a mosquito-ridden, muddy mess but at least the current didn't teleport our bait into the ocean instantaneously.
Brought corn for the carp and bloody chicken dough for the cats, but the nightcrawlers seemed to be popular so we stuck with them. Between us we caught 2 white perch, 1 yellow perch, an eel, a few sunnies, and 8 or so small channel cats like this one:

Those who know me can verify that I haven't been able to shut up about wanting to catch a bowfin ever since I saw them in the tank at Cabela's. Last year, I tried my luck in the swampy area at Scoville Reservoir with some shredded 17lb. mono as the result. So, yes...it would be fair to say that I was overjoyed to have an unexpected bowfin on my hook.
Awesome fish. Highly recommended, a pleasure to catch, would do business again! A++++++++

The 34" northern pike in my profile pic was caught a wethersfield cove last year. It was like reeling in a log. Great job guys.
P.s. never seen a bow fish before. Never noticed it in the tank at the toy store/hevan/Cabelas.
